Day 152: Being

He texted: [Children? It's not possible 
Beyond the profile screens to know our ages 
here. On the grid, our blank, inaudible
Epistemology's confined to pages
Of our own making.] This Cartesian crack
Resulted in the being being banned;
So anti-Heideggerian.  The flack
Was minimal; the management had planned
Ahead by banning disagreement, plus
A friend or two, revealing nothing, making
Themselves intelligible:  [Yes, you may discuss
Whatever -- be described -- but there's no breaking
The rules in our philosophy.] The ages
Remain unknown; the framed remain in cages.

How dreadful. I'm on a roll. The line breaks early on are particularly dismal. Onward!
